US presidential hopeful and former first lady Hillary Clinton has seen
her fortunes wane substantially in the shadow of fellow Democrat, Obi
Wan Kenobi... er Barack Obama. Now it seems even her GLBT supporters
are falling in line behind the new hope of American democracy. Take it
away Washington Blade.
Media reports about Madonna's antics at her somewhat short and belated promotional concert in France have been a tad cynical about her "French kiss" with a female fan. Haven't we seen it all before, they asked? Her Madgesty was rewarded with much publicity but will need to find a new gimmick soon. More here.
Not everyone in the GLBT world is enamoured of "gay marriage". Pete Burns of Dead or Alive fame and civil partner Michael Simpson have barely unwrapped the whitegoods before calling it a day after just 10 months. The embittered singer insists it will never work because gay men are too promiscuous. More here.
The Rudd Government’s announcement that
it will overturn discrimination against same-sex couples in federal law has
collided with the Australian Capital Territory’s relationship recognition laws
and ignited a “gay marriage” conflagration.
With the traditional Pride month of October just five months away, the new managing committee is confident it can get major events up and running according to male co-president Andrew Baietta.
Pride WA is off to a fresh start this week with six new committee members elected at the Annual General Meeting on Tuesday night. Pride now has a full complement of male board members but is still looking to fill four spots reserved for women.
The Rudd Government announced today that it would deliver on its election commitment to end discrimination against people in same-sex relationships during the winter parliamentary session.
The New South Wales Government has announced that it will accept a
recommendation to amend legislation and grant equality under the law to
children born to lesbians through in-vitro fertilisation (IVF), as well their non-biological parents.
Gay men and lesbians will be rooted out of hairdressing salons and
massage parlours across Bahrain under plans afoot in the Middle Eastern
state's young parliament to rid the country of homosexuals. Ministers have also proposed that teachers should watch for
homosexual tendencies in children.
The House of Lords has rejected an attempt to limit public speech on
homosexuality in the United Kingdom and amended a Labor bill that could
see people jailed for saying or publishing anything deemed to be hateful to lesbians or gay men.
Some of Perth's hidden history will be revealed at the second annual Northbridge History Studies Day to be held in in May. Speakers will include historians, community leaders and others who have acquired important knowledge about the historic precinct.
Here's a film that contains Tori Spelling that you can actually watch! Kiss the Bride is a light and gay, by all meanings of the word, romantic comedy. Plenty of hard bods for the boys and sprinkled with sarcky, one-liners for the girls. Cheeky with plenty of laughs.
How did a gay Perth man come to find
himself the subject of media and police scrutiny after spraying ‘fuck off
faggots’ outside the Star Casino in Sydney where Priscilla the Musical was being staged – in the company of Australia’s most acclaimed theatrical
designer? Just ask talented Brad Reid and he'll happily spill the beans.
Susan X Meagher first dived into
writing with her series, I Found My Heart in San Francisco, a collection of short fiction novels focusing on a diverse range
of relationships and their dynamics. All That Matters is one of her most recent, full-length offerings.
On now and playing until May 17th at the Blue Room, Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Silence, is a smart, fast-paced, highly visual and original play. Created by some of Perth's finest emerging artists, the play asks: How many versions are there of one single event? What is factual, and who's truth is more correct?
It’s been a long time coming! Eleven years of Howard inaction and
retro-action, an election, and 158 days of Labor and we have an
announcement. The Rudd government is going to amend over 100 laws that
discriminate against same sex couples.
Nowadays pole dancing performances are as common as barmaids with implants. But a good pole dancer is more than her absence of clothing; the art requires a smile, and an enormous amount of upper body strength. Always two admirable qualities in a lesbian.
It was with a great sense of optimism and a touch of sadness that I
came away from last week's Annual General Meeting of Pride WA. In
a productive and positive meeting, the members elected a skilled and
enthusiastic committee and said goodbye to one of the Pride's hardest
working committee members.
I used to think that anybody who was opposed to daylight saving was an uncultured, unsophisticated, backward thinking hillbilly. I don't think this anymore. However, irrespective of what I think, the Eagles and Dockers have more chance of playing off in this year's grand final, than daylight saving has of being embraced at next year's referendum.
It is hard to convey how thrilled everybody at GAYinWA was about the level of support the very first GlamFest Gay & Lesbian Film Festival received. We were run off our feet at every session and, with this level of support, GlamFest is likely to be around for many years to come.
As
far as I can tell, Irish rock band U2 make enough money to rival the GDP of
many a small country. I’m not
entirely sure I know what they are doing with most of that money but
I’ve just seen the new film of their Vertigo world tour – U2 3D – and I’ve been
reminded why they have money than God.
Nothing is guaranteed to confuse the mainstream media like a
post-modern gender issues. He, she, him, her, shim, hir… Now a US
transman has announced that he's pregnant with a baby daughter, and
half the planet is loudly wondering who's Arthur or Martha in the
situation.
